I just wish people would realize college is nothing. It's just a way for people to take thousands of dollars from you and four plus years of your life, and in return you get a piece of paper that says your qualified. Noone goes to college for the education except for the old people who just wanna get out of the house and haven't realized they can learn ANYTHING online. The education system needs a total revamp. Sorry I had to rant for a moment. As you were

Yes because they went for a piece of paper. I'm not saying education is a bad thing at all. The current system however is a bad thing. Leaving people in debt is never a good thing. America sadly is only a nation of debt collectors. Why not train kids in advanced education in high school? Or make colleges not private instutions but public instututions? You see what I mean? I'm not dissing you or education, I'm just calling for education reform

Anyone can be a rapper these days. You want proof, go to a store that sells cd's and look at all the new rap albums. 1 out of every 100 cds you pick up and listen to will be good. You can be a rapper, you've just got to believe.

Kinda true.. not for engineering. I'm on a Formula SAE team which basically does exactly what I wanna do after college, and its highly competitive


Also Rob Drydek's new show is terrible. He should really stick to being mentally handicapped

You shoulda posted Bob Ross's pretty little clouds video dead man lol.
And Split what I said still works for engineering by making colleges public instutions. Public means free but sadly that won't happen. They want college to remain unaffordable so those that have continue to have while those that don't continue to left out. It's the facts of life my friends.

Split
03-05-2013, 01:45 PM
they want college to remain unaffordable so we don't run our economy into the ground

03-05-2013, 01:50 PM
By having our men and women accumulate an unpayable amount of debt? Come on man. As I said to tyson I'm not dissin you either I'm just explaining these things man. The system ain't broken it's FIXED people.

Split
03-05-2013, 01:54 PM
the United States literally has the best higher education system in the world, bar none. it's not free? cry me a river lol. there are countless programs to allow people (have shown dedication OR ability) who can't afford to go to attend.

pretty much nobody has to pay the full cost of university here.


the system isn't broken. people taking on debt that they "didn't know" would be so high is ultimately the people's fault. you got taken advantage of? don't be so stupid.

Zen
03-05-2013, 01:59 PM
I have accumulated no debt. Sorry I'm just not a capitalist so I can't agree with America's system truly. I don't agree with exploiting others man. I just can't I'm not just Zen in name I try to be Zen in my daily life lol. Your views are your views and I respect you for voicing them honestly but I can't agree with America's get rich or die tryin mantra. I really can't. People should be helped man. People should be equal.

dead man
03-05-2013, 01:59 PM
actually many european and english university programs are far superior to any US school..

not to mention all the developed countries that provide a free college education for their citizens

i would not say US is the best, BAR NONE. by a long shot. yes we have a pretty accessible higher education system. but we also have a lot of people in debt from their student loans with no jobs available to pay them back. you can attribute that to personal failures or the system. either way, it's a problem.

Zen
03-05-2013, 02:04 PM
Yeah US is like 30th or 40th in the world or something like that now I saw from some ad during the pres election but I can't say if that's true or not. But yeah I believe the system and the idiocy of the people are to be blamed, neither deserve the full blame I agree with that Split.

Split
03-05-2013, 02:06 PM
dead man

I meant bar none in terms of the efficiency and quality of the higher education system, like all colleges and universities put together

but our education as a whole is kinda fucked up at the moment... meritocracy/ too many people getting useless degrees and not enough skilled labor

which sometimes pays better than workers at jobs that require degrees


i agree people should be helped, but capitalists on the whole (especially Americans) help more in terms of charity than any other nation.

equality of opportunity is wayyyy better in practice than equality of outcome/ resources, at least so far


anyways i respect your views as well, i just like arguing tbh

Split
03-05-2013, 02:08 PM
maybe in public education we are 30th. but universities and colleges, we're 1

Zen
03-05-2013, 02:11 PM
Haha arguing is my favorite past time.

And I agree about the equal of oppurtunity over equal share of resources SO FAR. But in America I see no equal oppurtunity at the moment. I see America as a big ass real life version of Monopoly but all the properties have been bought up and we the middle class or the working class is just going around the board paying taxes. I would say our government should fix these problems but they couldn't even sign a bill for the past three months to fix the economy....Wait let me rephrase that I meant the past three years they couldn't lol

Split

Zen
03-05-2013, 02:21 PM
Oh. Well I see no new businesses that have really sprung up except for maybe facebook which has taken off and that's because social media is a relatively new market. Monopolies were made illegal but shared monopolies still exist. Look at all the stores or products around you and two or three companies control the entire market. Apple and Microsoft control computers at the moment. Even in fast food with mcdonalds and burger king are the best example since capitalism is based on competition because competition ensures low prices, but bk and mcds aren't competing with each other. They have different options from each other(but they sell practically the same thing) but the prices are identical. Just saying how I see things

Zen
03-05-2013, 02:23 PM
Not to mention that most of these stores are under an umbrella from a conglomerate like Time Warner, Walt Disney, etc.

Split
03-05-2013, 02:26 PM
lots and lots of new business have sprung up.. very few peep through the rainforest canopy that is America's developed economy. i.e. Groupon, OKCupid, etc

my friends made a restaurant app and website that gained 15k likes in two weeks and have gotten $25k in investments, and a million dollar offer at a trade show for their business that theyve declined. theyre just two kids from Lowell. all you need is an idea.

Zen
03-05-2013, 02:30 PM
Ok the rain forest thing is capitalist imperialism. Exploiting others lands for personal gains of a corporation who sends these people to third world countries to "nation build". Hate it.

And I'm glad for them. Ideas are good and as long they manage to keep scraping in capital their business may survive until a new corporate business moves in down the street and they'll be forced to sell or go bankrupt.

Btw I love this debate it is entertaining me to say the least lol. Good job Split you good people

c.d.m. (0-3) VS. Mac (1-0)
Although I don't think I read Macs verse for his win, I know CDM is a good writer, and after three consecutive losses he will be coming for blood this week
patrown (0-0) VS. ZeeDee (0-0)
Not familiar with either, however I've seen patrowns name more often then ZeeDee, so I am wagering he will win via forfeit.
Pryde (0-0) VS. Adonis (0-0)
Again, unfamiliar here but I think Adonis had a nifty sig pic which will grant him the powers of redbull as he flies to victory
IAmBenT (0-0) VS. Ink (0-0)
I should have read the names in this weeks matchup before beginning this I suppose. Another I am in the dark about, however I do know that that Ink is the essence of writing and that has to be in his favor here
bleak (0-1) VS. Zenland (1-2)
I remember liking bleaks writing but can't recall anything in particular, and I know Zen is better then his win/loss is showing, and that he recently went on record calling me a genius, so he will undoubtedly take the W here.
Vinzr (1-0) VS. TYSON (0-1)
Vin had a strong showing last week in his debut, this will be a close match but I feel Tyson will be fueled by hopes of a bounce back week and will do everything he can to avoid the embarrassment of falling to 0-2
Red glare (1-1) VS. Innovator (2-1)
A noisy noise annoys an oyster
Aesthetic (0-1) VS. Split (2-1)
I'm going to cast the tie breaking vote in this close battle for Aesthetic without reading either verse because Split has still not got his collabo verse to me
Boredom (0-0) VS. Kuja (1-1)
Boredom shall sacrifice 3 prepubescent transgenders to the zebra god to garner his blessings and steal the victory in his debut.

True. But judging from 10 battles extended right now and only two open for votes maybe we should abolish extensions for a week and make people post on thursdays. Just try it for a week and I would imagine people would post their verses on thursday on time. Maybe not but I think it could be worth a try

Can't get rid of extensions. They are necessary. You lost activity if you don't grant such because a lot of times people have things come up. Other times they need a bit more time with their pieces.

My take is that if everyone voted from Thursday to Sunday, and all matches have sufficient votes, then battles could be set on Sunday night. That would give everyone from that point til Thursday to write, which is a lot of time. Niggas just need to vote. When battles need votes, even if you have your 3 links, you should help out and vote to help get battles closed. The faster that's done, the earlier matches go up, the more time you have to post your verse.

But extensions will not be rid of.

bleak
03-08-2013, 04:11 PM
raise it from 3 links to 5.

There's a lot of battles to vote on.

And if everyone voted the way they're supposed to be, we wouldn't have to add those extra votes to make up for their faggotry

Another note in reference to no shows:

2 no shows = 1 week suspension. No show 2 more times after that, same thing. It will effect your chances at contender & title matches plus playoff qualifications. I will post a full breakdown on the rules so that everyone gets a grasp of how things will run since we now have a system in place.

The remaining battles need some extra votes. I will leave them open. If there are sufficient votes in the morning (if I wake up early enough), I will close battles and post the new ones. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until Tuesday night for new battles to be posted.

New matches to be posted later today after I get off work. Hopefully more votes come in, otherwise I'll have to close battles. I'm going to also have to push this weeks due date to Friday & extensions for Saturday. This may even be the new rotation. I'll see you guys this afternoon.

how do the topics work here? do we write to the same topic in the battles? I saw one thread where it just had a beat in it. Can we write whatever we want to a beat each week.. if so thats dope as fuck.

the beats were really more of an experiment, most people actually didnt like it.

basically there's a theme for a week, the moderators assign each battle a topic that goes with the theme

Disappointed to come back and only one vote had been drop since my post this morning. Y'all will be disappointed, but it's Tuesday and we're extremely late. This week things will be different. Rules will be in place. A lot of you will be disappointed that matches are closed without a solid amount of votes but oh well. Moving on.
